Extended data

First, the origin of the name of Dongting Lake:

The name of Dongting Lake has many interpretations. There are records of "Cloud Dream" in Historical Records, Zhou Li, Erya and other ancient books. Dream means "Hu Ze" in Chu language at that time, which is similar to the word "Sui". The first year of the Spring and Autumn Period and Zheng's dream in Jiangnan. Another cloud said, "It is scheduled for four years, and Zi Chu will wade into the river and enter the cloud."

"Hanyang Zhi" said: "The cloud is in Jiangbei and the dream is in Jiangnan." Together, they are collectively called Yunmeng. At that time, Yunmengze covered an area of 40,000 square kilometers. Geography Today Interpretation said: "It is an ancient cloud dream to the east of qi zhou, to Zhijiang in the west, to Jingshan in the south and to the grassland in the north." Zi Xufu of Sima Xiangru said, "A dreamer can travel eight or nine hundred miles."

In the late Warring States period, Yunmengze was divided into north and south due to siltation, and the north of the Yangtze River became a swamp, while the south of the Yangtze River was still a vast lake. From then on, it is no longer called Yunmeng, but this big lake is called Dongting Lake, because there is a famous Junshan in the lake, formerly known as Dongting Mountain.

"A Brief Introduction to ChristianRandPhillips Temple" said: "Dongting is one of the immortal caves, and it is called Dongting. "Later people call it Dongting Lake, because of its Wang Yang, flooding, nothing to lose. This is the origin of the name of Dongting Lake.

Second, the origin of the name of Bohai Sea

According to historical records, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the name of China Sea did not exist, and all the visible seas were called "sea". With the development of economy, the increase of residents, the rise of fishery and the frequent occurrence of coastal marine disasters, people began to name and distinguish the sea areas. According to historical records, Bohai Sea was renamed "Bohai Sea", and Su Qin once said: There is Bohai Sea in the north of Qi. Tian Ken once said: Tanabata has the limit of turbid river, and the north has the benefit of Bohai Sea. Bohai Sea is also called "Small Sea", and Han Feizi records Qi Jinggong swimming in the small sea.

Since the Yuan Dynasty, the name "Bohai Sea" has been used to this day.

Third, the relevant views of all corners of the country:

Mao Zedong said in the article "Serving the People": "We all come from all corners of the country and come together for a common revolutionary goal." The meaning of this passage is to call on the whole party and the broad masses of people to unite and fight for the final victory of the China revolution.

There have been different views on the "Five Lakes" in history. In the Textual Research on Ten Geographical Mountains and Rivers, the names of the five lakes refer to Peng Li, Dongting Lake, Chaohu Lake, Taihu Lake and Jianhu Lake. Peng Li is Poyang Lake, and Jianhu Lake was replaced by Hongze Lake in Qing Dynasty. According to the Records of Hequ History, Poyang Lake in Raozhou, Cao Qing in Yuezhou, Danyang in Runzhou, Dongting in Ezhou and Taihu Lake in Suzhou are the five lakes in the world.

Caoqing Lake is now integrated with Dongting Lake, while Danyang Lake in Runzhou has gradually stagnated. Up to now, the statement is relatively unified. According to the lake area and historical influence, "Five Lakes" refers to Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake, Taihu Lake, Chaohu Lake and Hongze Lake.

As for the "four seas", in the article "The Book of Rites for Righteousness", Fu Xiao put it aside and blocked the world, which is universal. In ancient times, people thought that China was surrounded by the sea, and the East China Sea, the West China Sea, the South China Sea and the North China Sea were pushed and released. After that, the four seas generally refer to all parts of the country. Today, the four seas refer to the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea.
